DEALMAKING

The most important thing I've learned is knowing when to walk away from a deal. Discipline on price is what separates good investors from great ones.

150 deals. Most PE firms do 10 in their career. Speed and volume is our edge.

I was a good listener when negotiating with Trump.

I would rather do the deal than talk about it.

People looked at us like we were buying real estate in Cleveland. It could be a good thing but is hard to understand.

Hua Xing is not a relationship business. We do not make money by making friends. We are a product business, and our product is a rock-solid financial advisory and private financing offering.
